You tilt the head back and lift the chin up. Use the 2-finger sweep to clear the airway. Look in the throat for any blockage.
Check to see if the chest rises and falls

Open the airway with a head-tilt-chin-lift or a jaw thrust if there is a suspected spinal injury. Then look, listen, and feel for breathing/respirations.
Ensure that the victim's tongue has not been swallowed. If it has, use fingers to pull it back to normal. Then carry out the other stages.
Look at the chest to see if it rises and falls, listen for the sound of air moving in and out of the nose or mouth, and feel for air against your cheek from the nose or mouth
danger response airway breathing circulation
The DRABC plan is a systematic approach used in first aid to assess and manage a casualty's condition. It stands for Danger, Response, Airway, Breathing, and Circulation. First, ensure the scene is safe (Danger), then check if the person is responsive (Response). If unresponsive, clear the airway (Airway), assess breathing (Breathing), and check for circulation (Circulation) to determine the necessary interventions.
This is a 5 point plan used to approach a casualty in a first air situation. D = Danger, Check for danger to self, others and casualty. R = Response, Is the casualty conscious? A = Airway, Check the casualty's airway is clear. B = Breathing, Is the casualty breathing? C = Circulation, Do they have a pulse?
First AidABC is an acronym used in rescue and first aid, meaning "Airway, Breathing, Circulation". These are the first conditions one checks -- in this order -- upon reaching a trauma victim.First, see if they are breathing and the airway is open. Check again for breathing -- if they aren't breathing, start resuscitation. Check then for Circulation -- this means both pulse and heartbeat (first), and then bleeding.TelevisionABC is the "American Broadcasting Company", created in 1943 and currently owned (2009) by the Walt Disney Company. It can also mean the "Australian Broadcasting Corporation" (Australia) and the "Associated Broadcasting Company" (Philippines).
DRSABCD is a first aid mnemonic that stands for Danger, Response, Send for help, Airway, Breathing, CPR, and Defibrillation. In the case of a casualty who is not breathing and unconscious, you would first ensure the area is safe (Danger), check for responsiveness (Response), call for emergency help (Send for help), open the airway (Airway), check for breathing (Breathing), and if there’s no breathing, start CPR. If an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is available, it should be used as soon as possible (Defibrillation).
